A gas engine working on the Otto cycle has a cylinder of diameter 400mm and stroke 300 mm. The clearance volume is 2570 cc. Find the air-standard efficiency. Assume Cp = 1.004 kJ/kg K and Cv = 0.717 kJ/kg K for air
Added by Destiny M.
Step 1
The compression ratio is the ratio of the total cylinder volume (Vt) to the clearance volume (Vc). The total cylinder volume can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a cylinder: V = πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height (or stroke). Given Show more…

An air-standard Otto cycle uses 0.1 kg of air and has a clearance of 17%. The intake conditions are 98 kPa and 37°C, and the energy release during combustion is 1,600 kJ per kg.Determine the Piston Displacement Volume in Cubic Centimeters.

In an Otto cycle, air at 1 bar and 290 K is compressed isentropically until the pressure is 15 bar. The heat is added at constant volume until the pressure rises to 40 bar. Calculate the air standard efficiency and mean effective pressure for the cycle. Take Cv = 0.717 kJ/kg K and Runiv = 8.314 kJ/kg K.

An engine operating on Ideal Otto cycle has the following conditions: The pressure and temperature at the beginning of compression are 140 kPa and 30 oC, respectively. The maximum pressure and temperature are 5000 kPa and 2600 oC. Assume k=1.4. Determine: a.The net cycle work, in kJ/kg b.The cycle efficiency (thermal efficiency).
